What is Your Ultimate Strategy?

[BrianBethany]

I have seen bits and pieces of these questions through out the Forum, but I just wanted to see how everyone works the game in most of the aspects I list in one section. Thank you.

What are your Deck Percantages?

(Mine average around 50% Creatures, 30% Items, and 20% Spells)

Which Elemental Creatures do you enjoy fighting with the most, which are most effective for you?

(I tend to use a Blue/Yellow Deck or a Red/Green Deck)

What are your thoughts on Single Color, 2 Colors, 3 Colors, 4 Colors , or all five?

(I tend to use 2 colors most of the time.)

Do you use Neutral Creatures?

(If I need to fill in a creature hole I will, but most of the time I do with out the Neutral Creatures - they don't receive the HP Bonus when land is leveled up, so it is a little harder to keep them protected.)

What Spells do you always have in your deck (Top 7)?

(Growth Body, Magic Bolt, Temperence, Disease, Locust, Wing & Peace)

What Items do you always have in your deck (Top 7)?

(Battle Axe, Claymore, Diamond Armor, Plate Mail, Gaseous Form, Heart Fibula & Trident)

What is your favorite Creature per Element (Top 2)?

(Blue - Kelpie & Suiko, Yellow - Knight & Griffon, Green - T'ao t'ieh & Healer, Red - Pyro Drake & Flame Lord, Neutral - Leo Knight & Colossus)

What is your theory on placing creatures, when and where?

(Most of the time I try to place creatures on the color territory that I have a creature for. I will place the wrong color on a territory with the idea that I will trade it out with the right color when I get a chance. I try not to change land, expect when it is neccessary or playing with a single color deck. For instance I can' get any more land, have a chain of 4, I would change land to make the chain of 5.)

Where are you at in the game?

( I currently just finished the first tournament battle versus Selena and Pickett. I have 257 unique cards and 377 total cards. I have recieved 12 medals thus far.)

What is your favorite land to battle on?

(I think my favorite so far would be Map 8: Temple 2.)

Thank you. If you think of any other questions, just add them to the bottom of your response.

Eh- Why not?

What are your Deck Percantages?

(Totally varies by deck, normally 45-20-35 comes closest)

Which Elemental Creatures do you enjoy fighting with the most, which are most effective for you?

(Its too hard to choose a favorite- I like them all.)

What are your thoughts on Single Color, 2 Colors, 3 Colors, 4 Colors , or all five?

(They can all be effective- my favorites lean towards 2 and 3. I never had much fun with a single color deck.)

Do you use Neutral Creatures?

(Some of my strategies require the use of neutrals, and of course my all neutral deck utilizes them. )

What Spells do you always have in your deck (Top 7)?

(Telekinesis, Manna, Evil Blast, Soltis, Suppression, Paralyze and Rust)

What Items do you always have in your deck (Top 7)?

(Claymore, Counter Amulet, Talisman, Vorpal Sword, Gaseous Form, Plate Mail, Nuclear Fusion)

What is your favorite Creature per Element (Top 2)?

(Blue - Lilith and Fate, Yellow - Knight & Paladin, Green - Gargoyle & Vampire, Red - Chimera & Fire Giant, Neutral - Astral Queen & Decoy)

What is your theory on placing creatures, when and where?

(I hate placing a creature on an unmatching land, and will do it only on the rarest of circumstances: I.E. beginning hand is 2 items, Vampire, Gargoyle and Will-O-The-Wisp, if I land on a green- Ill place the Will O-the-Wisp and try to switch to a green creature asap.)

Where are you at in the game?

(Ive gone through story mode probably 20-30 times, I have well over 4000 cards and all medals. In my current story mode, I just finished Quanze- my favorite story battle game)

What is your favorite land to battle on?

(The huge extra one.)

Thank you. If you think of any other questions, just add them to the bottom of your response.

To tell you the truth, most of my decks aren't generic. I now try to base my deck around something and work with that, but I'll answer to the best that I can.

Deck percentages: While some of my decks only have 5 creatures, I'd say my average is about 60/20/20.

Elemental Creatures: I would have to say that yellow creatures have always been favored. I'm a fan of First Attack (probably because I like First Strike in MtG a lot.) It's really helpful in this game, and puts the opponent on the defensive even when attacking.

Amount of Colors: Well, in most of my decks now, their either single-colored or the creature color simply doesn't matter. But, in a generic deck, I'd always use 2 colors and see how they complent each other.

Neutral Creatures: I use neutral creatures if they fit with the deck. I almost always use the Sanctum Guardian in my deck though. In general, I guess I use about 4 neutral creatures, because some of them are good, and their good against cards like Wonderwall.

Top 7 Spells: Rust, Shatter, Wind of Hope, and all the rest are really dependant upon the deck I'm using.

Top 7 Items: Masamune, Counter Amulet, Claymore, Heart Fibula, Vorpal Sword, Fire Amulet, Shadow Armor. Again, the items I use are very deck dependant, but I think those are some of the better items in the game.

Top 2 Creatures in Each Color: Red: Pyro Drake, Gas Cloud. Blue: Vodyanoi, Undine. Green: Gargoyal, Gnome. Yellow: Hurricane, Night Fiend. There are so many i wanna add, like Nightmare, Mermecoleo, Nike, Powder Eater, Gouda. But those other 2 are probably the best generally. Neutral: Sanctum Guard, Cray Idol.

Placing Creatures: I tend to place creatures as close to their territory color as I can. This is another reason why I run neutral creatures. I do trade out or move if I'm not on the right color, most of the time. I really go for the land more for chain bonuses then for the defense bonus. Also, whenever I run mono-color books, I usually run the 150G spells to change land as well as Influence. In those cases, I'm not as sensitive about where my creatures go. But, yeah, Chain is the key. Thats where the big points are.

Game Completion: I have beaten the game and gotten all 50 metals as well as at least 1 copy of every card. I still play to get 4 copies of certain cards though, and because it's a fun game reguardless of prizes. Apearantly I have 2477 cards in all, I've spent 160 hours playing, and I won 188/228 battles.

Favorite Map: This is tough. I got a lot of my metals on Temple 2, so thats definately up there. I also like some of the extra maps, and I float through a lot of those. I guess I really don't have a favorite map, as I try not to structure my play based on what map I'm on.

Deck Percentages: My favorite deck has 100% spells.
Elemental creatures: When I use creatures, I prefer Green. I just loaded the board with Mudman. I used this strategy against Zagol and used it to get the medal for all lands at level 1.
Neutral Creatures: I love to use Astral Queen, Borgess, Leoknight, Brass Idol and some other neutral creatures in the same deck.
Top 7 Spells: Catastrophe, Meteor, Substistence, Locust, Earth Shaker, Energy Flash, Incineration.
Top 2 Creatures of each color: Red: Ares and Old Willow. Green: Mudman, Dark Master. Blue: Kelpie, Alga Sphere. Yellow: Witch, Archer.
Where at in game: Finished story mode, accidentaly deleted it, started over. 44 medals as of tonight.
Favorite Map: Talio and Humongous.

I usually use about 16 creatures, 8 items, and 26 spells. I like to start by playing creatures that give me quick G (Golden totem, Cornfolk,) then I put down an annoying defensive creature (Sea Bonze, usually) and level the crap out of it. My items are four Sleep scrolls so I avoid paying toll, (It's much easier to protect a creature than it is to kill a creature) and four neutralize attack items. My spells are usually designed to kill my opponent's creatures with annoying territory abilities, or give me money. I really like Drain Magic. Bind is a given in 1 vs. 1, but I usually don't use it in FFA.

Generally, you want to use cards that help you in FFA, and cards that hinder your opponent in 1 vs. 1
